Silly question: aftermarket windshield washer nozzles?

It sounds very silly, but I hate the windshield washer spray nozzles on my 2010 R56. The problem I'm having is that it sprays four high-volume but low coverage streams onto the windshield, which has the seemingly paradoxical effect of wasting a lot of fluid while not cleaning very well at all. What I would strongly prefer is that they spray a wide coverage area. Has anyone replaced their washer nozzles, or is there a year or model of Mini that sprays nicely that I might replace my nozzles with some from that model?

Thanks in advance!

Some people on the BMW side have gone from the older to newer style, But it has not been tested to fit the gen 2 MINI yet. The inserts on the hood a pretty standard, wonder if it would fit ? has the heating plug also. 61667046060

Thanks for the tip. Next opportunity I get I'll pull one of mine and see if it looks like it might be the same hole and electrical connector. I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one with this complaint!

Please update this thread when you try it. I'm also interested in upgrading my washers.

I know this is old but did anyone succeed in having this fit a R56?
